Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”Benefactor, what’s wrong with you?”

Huang Chengde was startled when he saw Yang Xiao’s state. He was the first to run over, wanting to see what had happened to him.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the Purple Flame Sect in the distance were also very curious.

They had seen Yang Xiao’s finger touch Huang Tianling’s forehead.

It had looked like he was going to harm her.

However, the process was brief. Although Yang Xiao had battled the seedling formed by the black Spirit Seed in his Sea of Consciousness for quite some time, in the real world, it was merely a fleeting moment.

Therefore, before they could even react, they saw Yang Xiao’s expression change drastically. He seemed to have gone mad, his aura growing unstable.

On the other hand, their Senior Sister Tianling’s aura seemed pure. Her spirit appeared to have been elevated, and she now emanated an aura that made their hearts tremble.

”That guy must have tried to ambush Senior Sister Tianling but got dealt with instead. Look at him, he looks like he’s Fallen into Demon. I wonder what kind of technique Senior Sister Tianling used.”

The disciple at the gate said with a look of disdain.

But just as he finished speaking,

he froze.

Because after Huang Tianling opened her eyes and saw Yang Xiao in this state, she hesitated for a moment before rushing forward to support him.

”Wh-what’s going on? Has Senior Sister Tianling gone mad?”

The gate-guarding disciple was dumbfounded.

’She’s the most outstanding female disciple of the Purple Flame Sect! To ordinary disciples like us, she’s a goddess, a Fairy. Who the hell is this guy? What has he done to deserve having a celestial beauty like Senior Sister Tianling initiate contact with him?’

For a moment, everyone felt like their brains had short-circuited. They couldn’t process what was happening.

Even Huang Chengde was the same.

He had no idea what had just occurred.

”Father, you wait here with Mother and Little Brother. I’m taking our benefactor with me; I’ll be back soon.”

After speaking, she paid no mind to Huang Chengde’s astonishment.

Supporting Yang Xiao, Huang Tianling flew up into the air.

And flew off into the distance.

It took a long time for the few disciples at the gate to react to the sight.

As for Huang Chengde, his face was now streaked with tears.

’Tianling... she actually called me Father. It seems the benefactor really did bring her back. But I don’t know what’s wrong with him now. I hope Tianling can help him...’

At this thought, Huang Chengde couldn’t help but worry again.

「Three hundred li north of the Purple Flame Sect.」

Two figures descended from the sky.

”Benefactor, the Cold Pool here seems to have a strange effect that can counter this Spirit Seed. I’ll take you down.”

The two were, of course, Huang Tianling and Yang Xiao.

Strangely, although Yang Xiao’s Heart Spirit was lost, his mind invaded by the Evil Qi of the black Spirit Seed, he showed no signs of a violent outburst when Huang Tianling was near him.

It was as if the girl possessed a peculiar power that soothed his Heart Spirit.

That was how Huang Tianling was able to bring Yang Xiao all the way here.

Otherwise, with her cultivation having only just reached the True Tier, she would have been no match for Yang Xiao, even with her Dao Body.

A berserk Yang Xiao would have likely killed her in a matter of moments.

Just as expected, when Huang Tianling carefully placed Yang Xiao into the Cold Pool, a wave of cold energy instantly surged up.

Yang Xiao’s Heart Spirit seemed to calm down somewhat.

But just as he showed a glimmer of clarity, Huang Tianling let go of him.

At that, the aura around Yang Xiao began to turn chaotic again.

’What’s going on? Can I help my benefactor suppress the Evil Qi in his body?’

Huang Tianling was not foolish; on the contrary, she was very clever.

Just now, when she saw Yang Xiao about to go berserk, she had immediately stepped forward to calm his aura. It had worked, and her heart relaxed.

’I don’t know why, but as long as I can help my benefactor, it’s fine.’

With a faint smile, Huang Tianling stood guard by his side.

She watched the changes in Yang Xiao’s aura.

Suddenly,

a marvelous thing happened: their auras were a natural match.

One was of water.

One was of fire.

One followed the Immortal Dao.

One followed the Martial Dao.

They perfectly embodied the Dao of Yin and Yang.

In that instant,

a profound mystery descended from the heavens upon Yang Xiao and Huang Tianling. Both felt their Heart Spirits tremble. This was a power bestowed by the heavens, much like the Treasure Patterns that appear when a Treasure Weapon advances, or the Treasure Skills gained when a Treasure Body ascends.

It was a gift from Heaven and Earth.

And this gift was even more profound than any Treasure Skill or Treasure Pattern.

It plunged them both into an indescribable state of being.

At the same time.

The Heaven and Earth Origin Fire within Yang Xiao’s body began to gently flicker. Even more unexpectedly, the Mysterious Furnace Cauldron that had been lying dormant inside him...

...seemed to activate at this moment, starting to slowly rotate.

With this one rotation,

the black energy in Yang Xiao’s mind was instantly pulled away.

It was drawn into the Mysterious Furnace Cauldron.

And Yang Xiao, who had been unable to regain consciousness, snapped his eyes open.
